Africa and Indian Ocean

What You Need to Know Before You Go

Africa is perhaps best known for its incredible and diverse wildlife, which roam the open plains of the Serengeti and countless other national parks. There's more to it than just lions and zebra, though, with remarkable sights across Africa, ranging from the Pyramids of Egypt in the north to the Cape of Good Hope in the south.

Whether you’re on safari or not, outdoor pursuits should be high on your itinerary. Diving and surfing draw people to the tropical coasts, and hikers can head to Tanzania to tackle the snow-covered peaks of Kilimanjaro. In many capital cities across the continent, change is happening at lightning pace, thanks to a young, savvy population who are changing how Africa is seen in the world.
